Scoring first is huge, you do that,win the special teams battle, have the better goalie on the night you win most games and we are not doing that lately.
- Bettmanhatesus

So what you are saying really, is be the better team and win most nights?

Weird.

I wonder if Babcock will be coaching the Canucks by then?

Burke was on 650 this morning just ripping the leafs and Dubas 🥰🥰🎉🥰🎉 just shredded their contracts and roster construction

I just hope they don't have any crazy ideas about hiring Babcock
- SMBDragon

Can't see it. If Babs couldn't get the best out of Marner Matthews Tavares Reilly and Barrie his philosophies certainly won't work here with Petey, Boeser, Bo Miller and Hughes

Yeah, he’s (frank)ed that up pretty well. Though, was Babcock a Dubas hiring?

i was thinking hed sit out a couple years collecting a paycheck but if babcocks ego is as bad as commie suggests then i could see him going back to detroit and pairing up with his team canada gm

- SMBDragon

so you do want them to hire babcock? weird timing imo

People exist who actually think Babcock’s a good coach?

Trade for Barrie before the Leafs use him properly.

The TML roster sucks. This year it got absolutely ugly. No one plays defence on that team or has any grit.

I've been wondering why they don't set the D pairings this way and even out the ice time for a while now. Seems logical to try putting your 3 more offensive Dmen on all 3 pairings to get something going

not to mention that have no backup goalie. even if they made the playoffs anderson wouldve played like 70 games to get them there and fiizzle out in round 1

Strange blender action. Going with pairs up front... would look much better with Ferland and Rous in there though

Love MacEwen on Bo’s wing.
Hate Pearson on Pettersson’s wing.
Benn-Myers is going to be a 🎪.

Barrie for Stecher, Sven.

That’s just what the leafs need

I think you mean they have no #1 goalie, Andersen is a capable back up.

That’s just what the leafs need

God I hate the Leafs, but the best thing they could have done is fire Babcock, they will go on a run now.
